Wallis Simpson

Wallis Simpson is one of the most reviled women of the 20th century. It was to marry this twice-divorced American that King Edward VIII of England renounced the throne in 1936, after less than a year on the throne. Born in Pennsylvania in 1896, Wallis, orphaned of her father, grew up in precarious conditions, and very early on relied on marriage to advance socially. But her matrimonial choices were far from always happy. From 1935 onwards, her affair with Crown Prince Edward opened the doors to "a shimmering new world", but it also made her the target of numerous rumors and public animosity.

Top Gear: The Races

Nov 10, 2006

Le Mans? Not gruelling enough. Indy 500? Too slow. Monaco? No glamour. Forget them all - here are the three greatest races ever filmed. Somebody made the mistake of telling Jeremy that the car isn't a fast enough way to cover distance anymore. He took serious exception. He also took a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, a McLaren SLR and a Bugatti Veyron on three legendary transcontinental blasts to prove his point. The competition? Richard and James driving planes, trains and boats. And not having as much fun...

The White Lions

May 9, 2012

White lions are among the rarest and most treasured animals in the world. Rarer still is their survival in the wild. Their white color stands out in Africa’s wild bush country, increasing their risk of being targeted and killed by rival predators and marauding adult male lions. Only three white cubs have reached adulthood in the wilds of South Africa since white lions were first documented there in 1975. Now, two white cubs, sisters, have beaten the odds, surviving all the challenges of their youth with the help of two remarkable lionesses—their mother, Matimba, and their aunt, Khanya. Without an adult male lion to protect their small pride, Matimba and Khanya must rely solely on their own knowledge, strength and courage to protect their family.
